Plant power in agriculture

The theme of this video is how a combination of organic (Effective Microorganisms) and anorganic materials (natural minerals) can naturally support the entire plant life cycle.

Successful, chemical-free shrub propagation

Name:

Alexander Schmidhammer

Personal details:

Owner of Hameter shrub nursery

EM experience since:

2009

Applications:

Gardening

Mr. Schmidhammer took over as manager of the Hameter shrub nursery in 2004. The Gärtnerei Hameter nursery provided the backdrop to the Austrian TV series "Der wilde Gärtner" (The Wild Gardener) with cabaret artist Roland Düringer, and Mr. Schmidhammer was on hand to advise the team. He told us about the use of EM in shrub propagation: "Since we started using EM, diseases have disappeared and there are no failures any more", explains Schmidhammer, describing the success.

He began using organic plant strengthening in his business back in 2009. Using organic fertiliser in combination with chemical pest control didn't have the desired effect. He changed course again after attending a seminar on EM. By using EM, Gärtnerei Hameter can now do without chemical pest control altogether.

2004

Gardening

Engelbert Bergmaier-Russman was named "Gardener of the Year" in 2010 and operates a nursery business with 4 sites. He first heard about Effective Microorganisms in 2004, did some more research and was very impressed. Convinced of EM's benefits, he implemented them across the nursery overnight.

"To this day I have never regretted taking that step; quite the opposite. I am truly impressed by the many benefits and positives they have brought," explains Mr Bergmair-Russmann. "Not only does using Effective Microorganisms save money and effort, it's also all done without any chemicals involved: when we work with nature instead of against it we all benefit."

Achieving natural balance with EM

Name:

Franz Hummer

Personal details:

Farmer and Mulikraft FM agriculture advisor

EM experience since:

1997

Applications:

Agriculture, animal husbandry

DI Franz Hummer is a real expert in the field of Effective Microorganisms (EM). As a conventional farmer, Mr. Hummer is himself a keen user of BB Plant Power for leaves and soil and he told us about his experiences involving use in rotting straw. "I use Effective Microorganisms because they help create a sustainable, healthy soil environment organically.

This helps restore, or in my case maintain, the essential balance required in nature. If the ground is healthy, fusarium fungi have little chance to develop."

Adding to watering

Leaf treatment to strengthen plants in greenhouses / polytunnels

Regular spraying of plants boosts their natural defence system. It makes them much more robust and less susceptible to pests and fungal infestation. Optimum effect when used jointly with beneficial organisms.
